You know what,, i might be wrong, but i think this suit was also resisted down the line by the Bush administration. They also fought the Lockerbie families from attaching the assets of Lybia. Same again for iranian hostages and victims going after frozen Iranian assets.

Sadly, the US govt, Rep or Dem fights hard to keep deeply harmed citizens from suing foreigners.

Would that be because the US wouldn’t want to be vulnerable to suits from non-US citizens anywhere in the world?

No you are not.

Protecting the Saudi Gravy Train is something our political system takes very seriously.

IIRC, the law firm that shielded the Saudis was counted among its luminaries by one James Baker, and Jamie Gorelick.

The families of 911 were not allowed to proceed upon any avenue that highlighted the Saudis Charities links to worldwide jihad and 911. Can’t have that, y’know.
